IBM Cognos Web Services SDK for creating new entries in IBM Cognos portal and access to the IBM Cognos security system

Two additional files for IBM Cognos portal

Almost all Apparo Flow entries in IBM Cognos Connection portal refer to these files and are needed to call external applications such as Apparo Flow.It does not modify any settings or files from IBM Cognos BI, so that the IBM Cognos BI environment with or without Flow Apparo behaves identically.As such, the IBM product support remains fully intact.
